[@joshsmith7033]

You're punching down on a lot of good music production channels buddy......

[@andrejilievski]

1. Double track with an overdrive pedal, or use it when playing down tuned 2. Mute your strings( and/or use a noise gate) 3. Every instrument has to have it's own place in the mix(frequency) 4. Commit to a sound 5. Record it good, don't fix it later 6. Don't sinc up delay times(dont overlap them

[@PierreBagnis]

Thank you kind sir

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

#5 is so important. Crap in = crap out. Get the best recording you can get right up front so you don't have to fix it later.

[@kpb13]

Andrej Ilievski Thanks for the recap!

[@andrejilievski]

Christopher Crepon The second one Put a different delay time for every track

[@Twongo]

2. If you try to use a noise gate to accomplish what muting does you accomplish nothing. The point is to not let notes that are unintended into the performance. A gate will only silence the whole signal once it's below the set threshold. When the gate is open, while you are playing, the notes you don't want are still in the chord or melody.

[@hogie1259]

Rick, I know this comment is a week later, but I cannot tell you how valuable this information is and has been to me. I’ve been trying to follow the recording processes pre-loudness wars and this was a huge piece in that puzzle. I remixed a recording from a week ago and man, the difference is astounding. You can actually hear all the little nuances I placed in the recording that got washed out by the boominess of the guitar parts . People pay big money to learn what you give away for free Rick. I cannot express my gratitude to you for sharing your vast experience and knowledge. It is greatly appreciated my man! Thank you!

[@LouRadon]

Thanks Rick. My home studio is modest but I want the most out of it. I've played guitar for decades but only now understand much of what I was missing. Now I'm on bass and drums as well, the tones are all so amazing. I want to capture as much of all of it as I can. Your instruction is invaluable. My experiences with teachers were less than stellar, admittedly because of my own deficiencies, as well as theirs. KZbin is a godsend for instruction. I should probably get your book! Good stuff man! Your knowledge is appreciated, I'm learning a lot. Cheers Dude!

[@jamiesloan5902]

Your love for everything music is contagious, brother. A person's true passion always shines through easily. Their eyes light up!!! This is an easy way to tell if someone is self loathing. Their eyes light up, when you change the subject to THEM. lol That wasn't meant towards you, Rick. I think that you enjoy sharing your knowledge to help other people understand your passion. I'm nowhere near as knowledgable as you, but I've always loved, and appreciated the fine details, when listening to music. You've helped me understand what those details are, that I couldn't quite put my finger on before. It's easier to engage with someone that loves what they do, instead of someone that's just doing their "job". You're a breath of fresh air.

I like the stereo guitar ideas. Steve Cropper once said the perfect rhythm guitar part is one you don't hear until you take it out and then you noticed something missing.

[@WeTubule]

I assume he was referring to a certain type of arraignment or song, cause as a general idea that makes NO sense to me.

Rick, thank you so much for these tips. Using an overdrive to tighten up the bass. I can see this working with an open back combo which tend to be woofy

Some of your videos are pretty advanced. In this one, I know much of this stuff, as I have been playing a very long time, but I still enjoyed the video and I think its fantastic to share years of experience, and be able to articulate things that can become instinctive after years of playing. For people who are newer to to the instrument, its invaluable. Information we'd all love to have had access to years ago. Well done Rick!

[@sagig72]

Hi Rick! Love your channel. This is a great video. A suggestion: If you can make a followup lesson with a end-to-end demonstration of how you do a complete mix of all instruments using all these ideas - it will be not only so much clearer but super-duper helpful. It doesn't have to be a difficult song, could be a simple one but if you can walk us through how you actually mix these tracks while taking into account all these factors you highlighted here - it will be fantastic. Merry XMas.

one of the things i learned about tone is less is more. meaning you don't need as much of each effect that you are using as you might think. every effect control ,volume control, and tone control has a sweet spot!

[@imikewillrockyou]

Haven't recorded in years now, but I would always double track my guitars and use different tones and level of overdrive in each side. To avoid "big mono", which is what it sounds like if you don't do that. Or the common trick was always Fender in one speaker Gibson in the other.

[@Glicksman1]

Love these lessons, Rick. So, what's wrong with mono? When we hear a band live, it's mono through the mains. A lot of Rock, R&B, Blues and Jazz recordings sound better in mono, IMO. Try it. Also, just a tip. On a Gibson-style stop tailpiece try top wrapping. First lower the tailpiece to the body and load the strings from front to back, wrapping the strings around it so that they go over the top. This does five nice things: 1. the tailpiece touching the body adds connectivity and the transfer of string energy to the body 2. enhances string to tailpiece energy and connectivity 3. relaxing the angle of the string to the bridge adds and enriches overall harmonics 4. reduces overall string tension and 5. less string down force on the bridge saddles reduces breakage Rick, you may know all of this, but if some here don't, I offer this tip.

[@danieltrickey9285]

This is why I like multi-effects pedals w/amp simulators for live performances. You can do a lot of EQ-ing that he's talking about in the studio. One click of the foot and I have a whole new set of pedals and tones.

[@highlifeswisher]

I recently started experimenting with low tunings and heavy strings (65 on top) and it's hard for me to get a that thick/semi-bright/drive tone I like. Taking your advice and plugging into an OD pedal with low gain has gotten me closer to what I like. After the OD pedal I use a Big Muff Fuzz pedal and the tone is getting better. I don't understand that shelf and hi pass stuff you'rr alking about, but the OD Pedal worked for me with my low tuning and heavy strings. Thanks, Rick!!!

[@stevekirkby6570]

In additio to muting and instead of using masking tape, you can double a hair band over the headstock and put over the strings just after the nut. When you do't want the muting you can just slide the headband behind the nut. Elegant technique and very useful. 🤗

Great tip on the O/drive pedal - ive been 'big mono-ing' for ages - will try the o/drive. RE: muting - I was obsessed with isolating signal and reducing noise for the solos, ive tried everything from masking tape to putting foam over the strings - as long as there was no open notes required.

[@danh7739]

@@gambarusso Tons of commercials too.

[@mikecamps7226]

I will have to work on that since you requested. I'm presently in the middle of gathering a parts order and I'm exploring the pot tapers for the application. The mid tone is based on a typical notch filter so there is an inductor in series with a capacitor, but rather than go direct to ground as what you'd normally see in internet posted mods, you insert a small value resistor to ground. This ground resistor is substituting for a 25K pot so its just picking a value that tunes in the proper point for overall balance when using the mid tone feature. The typical mid mod employs a boost and a cut wired in a pot that acts as a balance pot so mid travel of the pot is the normal position without the effect......its nice to have a pot with a detent for that. But when you examine the circuit....the one side of this balance is no more than a typical tone pot and capacitor set up which means the cap is the frequency filter.....so you need the right value as to not make it go muddy....... I find for my ears that a tone pot cap value for the roll off is good between a 0.02 cap to a 0.01 cap. Minding that the marked value on the cap has a 20% tolerance typically.......so depending on factors, a 0.01 cap can just roll off enough high end to take out the harshness of the bright bite but not go muddy with the whole sweep of the pot in rotation. Where as the 0.02 cap in full sweep travel in some situations can touch mud. Sooooo the frequency filter lays between the 2 values, and considering the 20% tolerance.... yes there is a 0.015 cap as a common value.......but its more important to tune to the particular guitar for the sweet spot and sweep travel........you have the brilliance of the string set you use....maple or rosewood etc etc....... but whole point being, the balance pot mid tone mod is kind of goofy when you view it as adding another 'tone' pot circuit on top of the tone pot circuit in the guitar.......so I eliminate the balance pot aspect and use the one side with the inductor/cap circuit with the whole sweep of the pot.......you need the proper taper pot. there are generally 3 tapers, linear or audio or reverse audio.......but then there are other factors too I'll bypass talking about pots. The bass roll off is another basic filter but with no inductor. In audio, based on the western electric labs data that was published years ago, you have a treble and bass tone stack network, a high pass filter and a low pass filter. The mid filter is a more later type thought which is similar to a single fader circuit from a graphic EQ type design, which use the inductor and cap. Where as the high pass/low pass is just a resistor and cap/ or cap & resistor going to ground and bleeding off the frequencys based on the cap as a filter for the most part. BUT keep in mind this is all passive as there isn't a buffer amp or a booster amp in the circuitry

[@georgemcduffey2622]

My favorite guitar setup, I used three separate amps/signals. Guitar went into wah/volume and then a DOD IceBox (stereo chorus). One went through my Big Muff distortion into my "center amp" (my dad's old Sears Silvertone head going through a 15" Ampeg bass speaker). The second channel out of the Icebox went into a Boss Distortion and then a Boss DD-7 (magical delay pedal) w/stereo outs. Left went to an overdrive then Vox (left amp) and the right went to my Fender Twin (right amp). I don't know how well it would've worked in a studio, but in a 3-piece band it made it sound like I was 2 or 3 guitarists instead of just me. Depending on the chorus/DD settings I could go quantum.

the part with the boss over-drive & down=tuned guitars, and doing 2 different tracks occupying 2 different frequency ranges is actually great advice.. the muting part too, because i thought i was the only one that liked that sound so much hah.

[@smileswrappedingauze]

"the bass has to be in the bass instruments" too. i hate how so many people don't get not to crank the bass too high; it sounds terrible. even just as simple frequencies. & lacks clarity. (i like the 90's scooped sound, too.)

[@gdawgs101]

@@smileswrappedingauze You just contradicted yourself. First you talk about EQing your instrument in the correct frequency range of where it will lie in the mix. A guitar occupies mostly mid frequencies, so by scooping out your mids, you're actively muddying your sound because your signal is all bass and treble. Midrange is what makes a guitar cut through the mix.

Mr.RB your section on Muting was brilliant One thing is that it is more Percussive by muting It Jumps out This is why Rythm Guitarists of the 30s and 40s played 3 note even 2 note " chords" 3rds and 7ths and muting everything else was to make it jump out amongst the horns ect. It is massive Percussive when done right - like RB says - learn how to play Brilliant

[@scottleacox7516]

This is a common procedure I use when I want a thick track. Mic 1, Moving coil, located close wherever the buzz of a speaker is loudest (The hot spot on a speaker). Mic 2. A Ribbon mic either next to the moving coil or 18" away from the speaker. Mic 3 an LDC all the way across the room or 1/2" off the floor or in a corner. In all cases, the mic was located with the mic live in headphones. Repeat/adjust detailed placement to minimize phase issues. Whatever mic you are placing or adjusting, have that the loudest thing in the headphones at that time. Then record 3 takes, 9 tracks total. When mixing I pick two mic's for 2 takes to reduce the track count from 9 to 4. Capturing a DI signal allows for re-amp later.

[@grelch]

Speaking of guitar tones, I've just seen that David Gilmour has put most of his guitars up for auction at Christies, including his black strat. That guitar has played some of the most iconic solos in history, in studios and live.

Great job Rick, your videos will be watched 100 years from now... great legacy,

[@markgriskey]

I agree with your comments on "printing" effects. I am doing more of that with synth textures etc. Logics "Bounce In Place" makes it real easy to bounce down a track with 5 plugins on it and commit to audio. I will save the muted MIDI files in case I want to make changes later but 9 times out of 10 I just use the sound I bounced down. Bottom line is you need to commit or you just have too many options and too many tracks / aux channels etc.

[@AntonovichHicksenbrau]

Printing w/FX... yes! - I like to split the signal and always record one dry - 'usually' record w 80-100 HPF on guitars ♫♪

Great idea with the overdrive pedal for down tuned guitars!

[@lawrenlelko]

I've heard "The only track that doesn't need a high pass is none of the tracks." Mastering becomes so much easier, and the kick and bass become really clear. Even the bass can have amp-wasters below 20Hz when the bassist presses all of the strings while muting. Sometimes (I don't know what other people call it), I do an A-B Mash: Play a classic song of the genre (or the best sounding similar intensity song on the album) while playing the mix (remember to use some mastering compression - at leas a reasonable mock-up - on the tracks going into a separate bus that goes to the master bus. This is because the classic song example already has mastering compression.) The result should be chaos. If the lead vocal is louder or softer, or eq'ed differently, it will stand out. It's helpful with all aspects of the mix. The kicks should sound like a Harley idling. If one or the other stands out - adjust. It's great when you get complete chaos and then turn the classic song off. It really can make your song fit in in the end-user's playlist.) Thoughts? Awesome? Bad engineer - no biscuit?

[@falconeaterf15]

Always like the WHOs recordings where the stereo effect mirrors the bands stage positions. Bass left, drums vocals, center, guitar right. Gives the impression they are simply recording the band live. Or so it seemed to me.
